Or instead of your weird eugenics fetish governments can just do their job and create an environment in which people can create/find jobs to earn money to provide for their needs themselves.
Yeah, I figured someone would misinterpret what is meant by “population control.” Population control isn’t necessarily eugenics, silly. It’s merely the logical premise that a human population cannot continually reproduce at a rate higher than the replacement rate, unless you want to explain to me how you plan to fit infinite humans onto the non-infinite surface of Earth.
You can apologize now. Further, most “jobs” are meaningless tasks performed in exchange for an infinitely inflationary financial instrument backed by nothing.
We need an entirely new platform upon which sentient beings can flourish, and it doesn’t include the uneducated and irrational, or emotionally-impulsive who produce kneejerk reactions to nebulous external stimuli, as you just did.
How do we tell people that they can’t have more children than the replacement rate, or how do we determine when/who gets to have more than the default number of children?
Honestly the reason why we get so many children is because there’s poor sexual education and free contraceptives, plus abortion not being legal and also massive propaganda since centuries ago by the church to make people reproduce like rabbits.
This is incorrect. People make a rational calculation: if children are likely to die before adulthood, they have more children to compensate. In every country and culture around the world, as income and security increase, family size levels off to merely replacement levels. You think people are having too many kids? Fix it by raising everyone’s standard of living.

That is literally the definition of eugenics and obviously there won’t be an infinite number of humans you fool.
No pro eugenics stances allowed here, that’s breaking rule 1. consider this your final warning.

Doesn’t evolution already take care of these concerns, without needing any government?
